At 38.5 mm across and just 7.5 mm thick, this Excellanc is a round watch that sits neatly on most men's wrists without looking oversized or lost. It runs on a PC21 quartz movement, weighs 23 g, and at this price it is a genuinely inexpensive way to get a smart everyday watch.
The dial is blue, with white hour markers and Arabic numerals, so the time reads at a glance. The hands carry a luminescent coating: charge them in daylight or under a lamp and they stay readable in the dark. The case is silver-coloured metal, topped with mineral glass, which stands up to scratches better than plastic does.
Quartz means an accurate time with no winding and no servicing routine. When the battery eventually fades, take the watch to a watchmaker, who can swap it and check the seals at the same time.
The brown faux leather strap is soft, easy to wipe clean and closes with a classic pin buckle, adjustable hole by hole until it feels right. The lug width is 18 mm, the number to note if you ever want to try another strap, and the total length is 24 cm. If you like the look, there are more options in our men's leather strap watches.
Day to day, it pairs easily with office clothes and shirt sleeves, and its light, slim build means you will barely notice it is there.
